1:46:08

Hey folks! Busy times for us here at the Pit. We tried to prevent the inevitable, but alas, we had to take a week off in order to oil the ol’ gears.

1:31:08

Today is a day where we let our interests dictate the flow. We discuss everything from the Three Rivers Dam in China, to waste management, to the museumification of society.

Urban Legends: Drugs Edition w/ MADSHROOM MC 1:58:02

23d ago1:58:02

1:58:02

Before social media, word of mouth was the way an average Joe could learn of all the stories that may be too hot for the mainstream… Often, these stories had a brief moment in the sun and were able to make a long-lasting enough impression to linger in the fringes of society for decades after.

Do you remember being taught things by teachers as a kid, things that as you got older seemed suspiciously false? The biggest and most egregious example that comes to mind always is that of Christopher Colombus. They told us he “discovered America” and that he was one of the, if not the greatest explorer the world had ever seen. Well, it is that ti…
